Any
country that numbers among its patron saints Hans Christian Andersen,
Victor Borge, and an ancient king named Harald Bluetooth, must have
a true sense of whimsy, wonder, and humor. Denmark's sea-wrapped landscape
may be lovely, its thatched cottages charming, and its capital one of
the most pleasant cities of Europe, but the country's greatest asset
is its people—the Danes—though the food may run a close second. Pack
your sense of fun when you take off for Denmark.

With its small cottages and tiny hamlets, Denmark appears idyllic—almost
a toy nation—and its emphasis on fantasy and fun (it has two of the
best amusement parks in the world) makes it ideal for students. But
it has as much to offer students as well, including sophisticated buildings
and a remarkable history with monuments and art.

The term the Danes use to describe the style that is so much a part
of their life is hyggelig, which, though strictly untranslatable,
suggests a combination of friendliness, coziness, and cheer. You'll
find this ever-so-Danish quality everywhere you go.
